'You're Making Me Look Bad!'
Last Saturday was an unbelievably busy day at work.
We had 9 (NINE) new patients come in that day. and several emergencies.
Needless to say, it was hectic.
Our last two patients of the day were in the back treatment area and I had some last minute things I needed to do in the back before being able to wrap up our paper and computer work.
As I entered the treatment clinic area, I came upon two of our techs and one large kennel technician(boy) who were doing all they could to hold down to the ground a VERY large 120 pound black lab that was completely out of control....thrashing and trying to bite and escape. I was nervous for them as they tried to protect themselves and others in the room.
I stepped back from that scene to take sight of another scene directly to the left of the first. There stood one tiny technician, holding in the palm of ONE of her hands, a miniature chihuahua that only 5 minutes before, had weighed in at barely under ONE pound, if soaking wet. That little chihuahua was eyeing that black lab with a look that said, 'Knock it off! You're making us all look stupid!' I looked from one to the other and found myself laughing right out loud at the humor in front of me. Where was a camera when I needed one??
I've giggled a few times at the memory of Saturday and have since thought about how much alike all of us are in so many ways and yet how different we are in others. Similarities and differences....and how those each either compliment or embarrass our own kind.
Just thoughts...and a funny memory.
